Parking restrictions proposed for central Annandale

The Fairfax County Board of Supervisors will consider on
Sept. 10 the establishment of parking restrictions on several streets in
central Annandale to prevent long-term parking by commercial trucks.

The measure would prohibit commercial vehicles from parking
on Daniels Avenue (between Maple Place and 4104 Daniels Ave.), the Little River
Turnpike service road (between John Marr Drive and 7205 Little River Turnpike),
and Poplar Street (between Annandale Road and Daniels Avenue). The restriction
would be in effect seven days a week.

The Board of Supervisors will vote on the authorization of a
public hearing on the parking restrictions to take place Oct. 8, 4
p.m., in the Fairfax County Government Center.

The restrictions were requested by members of the Annandale Central Business District Planning Committee, who complained that dump trucks,
tow trucks, delivery trucks and other large vehicles, many from out of state,
are reducing the capacity of on-street parking for local businesses and other
uses. If the restriction is approved, the trucks are likely to move to other
streets.
